PSG, who face German side Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday in the
first leg of their last-16 tie, were knocked out by Barcelona at the
quarter-final stage last season.
Ibrahimovic, who scored his 19th goal of the Ligue 1
campaign in the 3-0 win over Valenciennes last week, is in coach Laurent
Blanc's squad, along with January signing Yohan Cabaye.
Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani will be missing with a thigh injury.
Opponents Leverkusen come into the match having lost five of their last seven games, including a shock home defeat by second-division side Kaiserslautern in the German Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday.
They were also defeated 2-1 by Schalke at the weekend.
"I'm very happy with the way my team played [against Schalke]. It was very different from Wednesday's game," said former Liverpool player and current Leverkusen coach Sami Hyypia.
"The lads showed a lot of character. We can get a result on Tuesday if we play like that."
Centre-back Emir Spahic may miss the home leg after coming off with a thigh injury during the defeat, while midfielder Emre Can will miss the match through suspension.
"If we get further than the quarters it would be a big step," he said. "We have a team with a lot of potential and high quality."
